It looks like the licensing issues have been cleaned up. From the v2.16 release notes file: o "Free" Licenses Previous releases of IRAF were seen as being "non-free" due to legacy license retrictions in the system. In particular, the NCAR graphics code restricted re-distribution of IRAF by parties other than NOAO, and comments in the XYACC source directory were taken to mean that an original BSD source license was required. We are happy to report that both restrictions have been removed from the IRAF system: The XYACC code was rewritten prior to the v2.15.1a release and is covered under the OpenSolaris CDDL license. Agreements between NOAO and UCAR were reached to allow the NCAR code in IRAF to (retroactively) be covered by the current UCAR license allowing redistribution. A new COPYRIGHTS file and the text of the licenses now in use can be found in the $iraf/local directory as well as the distrubution directory on the iraf.noao.edu server.

It is intended to be used for astronomers[2]. I have started to learn python, so in the near future I can use this package in my own research or publications :) Have a good day, Germán.

It would be great if someone with spare cycles could review them. They are python packages, not very complex. We can swap reviews too. Regards, Sergio [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Astronomy/Packages/UnderReview </pre> Sergio Pascual 2011-04-17T21:06:01 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.science.astronomy.fedora/141 <pre>I have many times tried to think of an economically sound method to design a large reflector mirror and here are some of my thoughts: 1) Does the base mirror have to be made of one monolithic piece? The larger the radius, the harder it is to grind a perfect parabolic shape. It also means bulk, mass and density is harder to work with. It is said that the mirror base material should be made of a material that have the least thermal expansion coefficient and the mass should be dense enough to prevent ground/air movements, or so I think. 2) Is it possible to design and create a segmented parabolic mirror array so that thermal coefficients in each segment can be computer controlled and the whole contraption suspended so as to reduce ground/air movements? Several options I could think in this area of would be: a) A lightweight parabolic (honeycombed?) frame. What I am thinking here, is the ability to dynamically and integrally control the base mirror's overall focal point. i. Normal "glass" polished mirrors, each segment shaped and integrally added to the overall parabolic frame. ii. A metallized (mirrored) mylar sheet with correct thickness, overlayed and sealed to the parabolic frame. Behind each segment could have computer dynamically controlled +/- air pressure to change the focal points. There is probably more we could add, but that's all I can think of for now... FWIW, Dan </pre> Daniel B. Thurman 2011-03-06T19:13:06 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.science.astronomy.fedora/140 <pre>OK you guys woke me up and you are full of humor. I will trow out a topic. What if you wanted to make your own telescope? Where would you find low cost high quality lens or mirrors? Would you consider making the optics by casting materials in a plastic membrane or spend the dollars to buy them. Is there any military or other surplus worth considering? I have a small ranch so away from city a bit and lots of room. I can weld and have the equipment needed. I have access to large diameter used steel pipe of most sizes at reasonable cost. I found this link on the web while typing this posting and it took me away for a bit. Will have to spend more time here too: http://www.mdpub.com/scopeworks/ I could build it on a trailer so I could take it to star parties or I could build a fixed installation. Also have the ability and motors needed to build a tracking system. This is something I have been thinking of doing for some time and it will be a long term project. I have Solidworks 3D software. So as ideas develop I can make a detailed design. Also have optical simulation software to test ideas. Questions that will likly come: What will it be used for? What is the budget if any? </pre> Bob Stricklin 2011-03-06T15:56:00 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.science.astronomy.fedora/139 <pre> Excellent! I'm not sure where things are but a good first step would probably be to review the four pages of packages[0] on the main SIG page and find out if these lists are current. I know there used to be a spin[1] for Astronomy. Maybe I can get some guidance from Clint, or someone else here, on how to put that together and we can have that rolled out for F15.
